Ernesto Valverde has the opportunity to give two titles in his inaugural season as Barcelona coach. The Blaugrana are getting closer to the Spanish league title by needing three more wins. In addition, Barcelona also ditambang set a new record as an unbeaten team in a season.

Barcelona also has a chance to win the Copa del Rey title. However, Lionel Messi and colleagues must first beat Sevilla in the final match held at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano on Sunday (4/22/2018).



However, the Barcelona game is considered not entertaining. Valverde's playing style is considered boring and too enduring.

Moreover, Barcelona also failed in the Champions League this season. The Catalan team had to lift the suitcase in the quarter-finals after failing to compete with AS Roma.

Therefore, Valverde's position as Barcelona coach next season is not necessarily comfortable. Here are 3 coaches who are likely to become Valverde successors as quoted from ftb90.com

1. Quique Setien

Quique Setien became one of the coaches who get attention in the Spanish league season 2017-2018. Joining in July 2017, the 59-year-old managed to bring Real Betis into the Europa League zone for next season.

Betis currently perched in the top five standings with 52 points from 32 matches. This is not separated from the seven victories and one draw that Betis won in the last eight.

The Santader-born man has shown how Betis is displaying entertaining football and is able to keep the stability of the defense. Historically, this corresponds to the grip of the game of Barcelona.

2. Thomas Tuchel

Thomas Tuchel has been linked with Barcelona since last pana season. Although only able to give the DFB-Pokal trophy for Borussia Dortmund, Tuchel left Signal Iduna Park with good reputation.

Similar to Setien, Tuchel's style of game is more methodical. Undoubtedly, it will be an important factor in the decision that Barcelona President Jose Maria Bartomeu will choose.

However, similar to Setien, a more methodical but interesting game style for what Valverde has exhibited this campaign will no doubt be considered an important factor in any decision chosen by Bartomeu.

3. Maurizio Sarri

One of the names that deserves to enter the Barcelona coach candidate is Maurizio Sarri. Sarri's ability to refine the team has been proven in Napoli.

In the last three seasons, Sarri brought Napoli into a serious contender for Juventus in the title race for the Italian League Scudetto. Napoli always finish in the top three in the last two seasons.

The 59-year-old coach has an interesting game style and a tight defense strategy. Although Sarri demanded Chelsea and Arsenal, if Barcelona called him, there is a possibility he will move to Camp Nou.
